Jermyn Street Theatre presents The Return of the Soldier: A New Musical, September 2-20. Based on the novella by Rebecca West, it is directed by Charlotte Westenra, Music by Charles Miller, Book and Lyrics by Tim Sanders, Musical Director Simon Lambert, Designer Simon Anthony Wells. Coinciding with the centenary of the First World War, The Return of the Soldier is an intimate new chamber musical based on Rebecca West's celebrated 1918 novel of the home front.

An intensely bitter-sweet tale dissects the very different love of three women for Christopher. When he returns from the war with shell-shock, there are profound consequences for each of them.
With a cast of five, this powerful new music drama with its rich and arresting score, becomes an eloquent treatise on the nature of love, truth, memory and loss. In the end, only an extraordinary sacrifice will restore a fragile status quo.
